One of the longest-running online independent music magazines, we’ve been championing and curating intelligent, uncompromising voices in contemporary and experimental music since 20041 via reviews, interviews, guest articles, news, playlists and mixtapes.
We amplify individuals and collectives that sit outside the mainstream; this includes, but not limited to, Experimental, Ambient, Avant-garde, Jazz, Field Recordings, Electro-acoustic and Folk. We cover marginal music with the same depth and reverence that the mainstream reserves for its tired canon.
If you’re new to KLOF, try our Mixtapes and sign up for our Free Substack to receive our weekly digest. We also offer some great perks for paid Substack subscribers, including an exclusive weekly playlist delivered to our inbox every Monday (available via Apple Music, Spotify, and Tidal).
Beating the Algorithm with Weekly playlists, Music Recommendations, Exclusives and more.
I’ve learned about most of the music I’ve loved over the past couple years from the fine people at this publication.
